My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 507: Chapter 506: The Downfall and Disgrace of Wan Quan (First update)

Xin Group.

Xin Zaozao was in her office dealing with her own affairs.

Wu Qing knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

“Chairwoman, Wan Quan is downstairs and refuses to leave. I’ve honestly never seen a woman as persistent as her,” Wu Qing said.

Xin Zaozao shifted her gaze to Wu Qing and said, “Let her come to see me.”

“I feel like she’s lost her mind. I’m really afraid she will hurt you if she comes up. I can’t understand how Mu Cidian, a man as reasonable as he is, can have such a nasty mother. It has gone unnoticed before, but she’s just become unbearable over the years.”

Xin Zaozao said, “She’s nothing more than a dog that has lost its home.”

Wu Qing had worked with Mu Cidian for many years, now working with Xin Zaozao, she increasingly felt that Xin Zaozao’s way of doing things was becoming more and more like Mu Cidian, both of them, so committed to their work, both so determined and resolute.

Despite her reservations, Wu Qing escorted Wan Quan into Xin Group.

Looking at Wu Qing, Wan Quan made a sarcastic remark, “Such a pragmatic woman! Wasn’t my son good to you back then? Now you’re trying to suck up to Xin Zaozao!”

Wu Qing had no interest in engaging with Wan Quan.

She truly couldn’t understand how a reasonable person like Director Mu could have a mother so irrational.

Continuing, Wan Quan said, “What benefits has Xin Zaozao given you that you work for her? I can give you the same benefits if you help me take her down.”

“Mrs. Wan, I hope you can respect me!” Wu Qing replied angrily.

Who did she think she was?

Wan Quan sneered, “Wanting to play the whore while also acting innocent.”

Wu Qing genuinely wanted to strangle Wan Quan.

Wan Quan proceeded to enter Xin Zaozao’s office.

All her fury was directed at Xin Zaozao.

Bursting out in curses, she yelled, “Xin Zaozao, you despicable woman! You, who were born but not raised by your mother! Are you responsible for those photos spread by the media? Did you arrange for them to be taken?”

“Yes,” Xin Zaozao admitted without hesitation.

“How dare you scheme against me in the dark! Xin Zaozao, do you believe I could kill you?”

Xin Zaozao stood up calmly from her office chair.

As she approached Wan Quan, her slender figure exuded an aura of dominance.

When did Xin Zaozao acquire such forcefulness? Wan Quan didn’t know when this woman stopped being someone she could easily manipulate, a woman she could abuse and scold at will!

Watching Xin Zaozao, she felt a sudden sense of fear.

Xin Zaozao stated, word by word, “Wan Quan, if you think the lesson I gave you isn’t enough, you can keep acting recklessly. But I assure you the ending would be you losing everything.”

“You dare to threaten me!”

“What happened today is just the tip of the iceberg. I promise you things can get much worse.”

“Don’t think you can intimidate me.”

“Whether you’re scared or not, we’ll see.”

“Xin Zaozao!” Wan Quan spat out through clenched teeth.

“Goodbye.”

“Xin Zaozao!” Wan Quan was seething with anger. Looking at Xin Zaozao’s commanding presence, she couldn’t swallow her anger. “Xin Zaozao, my son will be out of prison in just over two years. After his release, he will avenge me!”

Xin Zaozao gave a cold laugh, “Mu Cidian, a stray dog, how can he avenge you?”

“Xin Zaozao! Who did you call a stray dog! If it weren’t for my son caring about you, do you really think you could enjoy so much power and status in the Xin Family now? You would have been kicked out and left homeless if my son Mu Cidian hadn’t been softhearted!” Wan Quan shouted furiously.

Yes.

She too felt that Mu Cidian was a bit soft on her.

But, each person chooses their own path, and they have to face the consequences of their actions.

She coldly said, “So, now Mu Cidian is at my mercy, and he will be the same after two years.”

“Nonsense! In two years, when Mu Cidian is released, he will see your true venomous colors. He will not have any affection for you anymore!”

Xin Zaozao smirked coldly, “Do you think he will still have the power to turn the tables?”

“I am well aware of my son’s capabilities. As soon as he is released, he will definitely ruin you.”

Xin Zaozao paused for a moment.

Wan Quan thought Xin Zaozao was scared, and sneered, “What’s the matter, are you afraid of Mu Cidian?”

“You’re overthinking it. I just feel that talking to you is a complete waste of my time!”

“Xin Zaozao!”

“Secretary Wu.” Xin Zaozao called for Wu Qing at the door.

“Yes.”

“Please show the guest out.”

“Yes.” Wu Qing resolutely approached Wan Quan, “Mrs. Wan, please leave.”

“Remember this Xin Zaozao, one day I will intensify my efforts to retaliate against you!”

Xin Zaozao didn’t bat an eyelash.

Seeing Xin Zaozao’s indifferent expression, Wan Quan, concealing her pent-up anger, ultimately turned around and stormed off.

She couldn’t do anything to Xin Zaozao here. All she could do was to let out her anger by cursing Xin Zaozao.

After Wan Quan left, Xin Zaozao did not feel like working anymore. She stood by the window in thought.

It was with great difficulty that Wu Qing managed to escort Wan Quan out of Xin Group.

As soon as Wan Quan stepped out of the Xin Mansion, she started voicing her grievances to the reporters. Previously, she had lost all composure, venting her anger and now she was playing the victim, crying her heart out. She accused Xin Zaozao, saying it was all a deliberate set-up, that Xin Zaozao was intentionally making her life unbearable, and that Xin Zaozao was trying to make her end in a terribly gruesome way.

Wan Quan was crying outside, sounding like she was gasping her last breath.

Wu Qing really wanted to step forward several times to speak the truth, but she thought that doing so at this moment would only give the media more ammunition. It was better to let Wan Quan act out, as the public was not dumb and they could see through Wan Quan’s intentional defamation.

She walked into the Chairman’s office, and pushed open the door, “Chairwoman, Wan Quan is still refusing to leave outside the building.”

“Ignore her.”

“She has been slandering you in the media.”

“Nobody would believe her.”

Wu Qing nodded.

Indeed, no one believed her anymore.

Getting ready to leave, Wu Qing turned around.

“Secretary Wu.”

“Yes.”

“What do you think about Mu Cidian’s abilities?” Xin Zaozao asked suddenly.

Wu Qing was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Manager Mu had been imprisoned, the chairman had never mentioned his name. Wu Qing always had the impression that there was deep enmity between the chairman and Manager Mu. After returning to work at the chairman’s side, she specifically avoided mentioning Manager Mu’s name, never expecting that she would bring him up today.

She quickly responded, “Manager Mu is the most capable person I’ve met. I’m not saying the new chairman is inferior, but he is just as good as you.”

Xin Zaozao laughed lightly.

It seemed this secretary had anticipated her feelings, so she deliberately compared her to Mu Cidian.

She suddenly ordered, “There is a financial report from Wan Quan in Secretary Cheng’s office. Check how much assets she still has under her name.”

Wu Qing hesitated a bit, “What does the chairman want?”

“To leave her penniless.” Xin Zaozao stated confidently.

Wu Qing immediately endorsed, “This should have been done long ago. Wan Quan is a woman who’s never satisfied. Being able to live without worry of food and clothing is already a blessing for her. Yet, time and again, she challenges the chairman’s bottom line! Rest assured, I will find a way to empty her pocket, she will regret it.”

Xin Zaozao’s mouth twisted into a cold smirk.

Wu Qing thought she was only targeting Wan Quan. Indeed, her patience with Wan Quan had reached its limit, telling herself not to care about Wan Quan, not to dwell on the past. However, she had to confront this woman’s cruelty time and again. But her motive was not just to get back at Wan Quan. She was just swayed by what Wan Quan said today.

Indeed, Mu Cidian was capable.

Therefore, she could not give Mu Cidian the chance to regain his ground.

Therefore, Mu Cidian must be left penniless when he comes out!

Now she is very clear, what is best for her, what is the best way to live her life.

…

The incident about Wan Quan has been the talk of the town, her reputation totally tarnished, known to all.

However, Wan Quan still can’t stop digging her own grave.

Ye Wenhan was sitting in his office, his face turning ashen as he read the news about Wan Quan.

How could he have been so stupid as to believe that Wan Quan had the ability to control Xin Zaozao. In front of Xin Zaozao, Wan Quan was just a pushover, a complete waste!

His complexion was terribly awful.

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

“Mr. Ye.” The assistant appeared respectfully at the door.

“What is it?” Ye Wenhan’s face was very bad.

“President Yue says he needs to see you alone about the project funding.”

Ye Wenhan’s face got even darker.

Money, money, money, it’s all about the money!

Could this little money really bother him to death?

He said coldly, “Tell Yue Dong that the money will be transferred to him tomorrow, let him wait for me!”

“Yes, Mr. Ye.” The assistant quickly left.

Ye Wenhan’s face was extremely ugly.

Isn’t it just 200 million?

Isn’t it just this little money?!

He picked up the phone and dialed the temporary head of the finance department, “Come here for a moment.”

The person was in the office right away.

Since Chu Zhaotian was nabbed, the finance department was temporarily led by the deputy head and a chief financial officer was yet to be appointed. The deputy was juggling all the financial tasks.

The head of the finance department, Li Xiang, was extremely respectful to Ye Wenhan.

For this period, he had been showing great diligence in his work, hoping to get promoted with the chief financial officer suddenly running into trouble. Now that Mr. Ye had summoned him, he didn’t know if some good things were going to happen.

He looked at Ye Wenhan nervously and expectantly.

Ye Wenhan had calmed his temper by now, he asked Li Xiang, “How are our finances now?”

“I will immediately give Mr. Ye a financial statement.”

“I trust you, I don’t need to see the details. I just want to know, if we allocate another 200 million from finance, will there be any difficulties?”

“No. The finance department now has sufficient funds, and all of this year’s budget projects are within the control range. The overall economic situation of Yanshang Country last year was good, and the tax revenue was quite substantial.”

“That’s good, allocate 200 million for me.”

“Alright.” Li Xiang agreed immediately, “Mr. Ye, I need to know the purpose of the payment. I have to make a payment report, it will be published outside in fifteen working days.”

Ye Wenhan didn’t answer; he smiled and asked, “Li Xiang, how long have you been working at Commercial Management?”

“I’ve been working for 20 years.”

“20 years, it’s about time for a bigger breakthrough.”

“I’ve always been conscientious and doing my own job, I haven’t thought much about it. Being able to get to where I am now, I am already quite satisfied.”

“A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!” Ye Wenhan asserted with conviction.

Li Xiang did not dare to expose his ambition.

However, Ye Wenhan tried to tempt him, “Have you ever thought of taking over as Chief Financial Officer?”

Li Xiang’s heart fluttered.

He couldn’t help but say, “I dare not presume.”

“Looking at the entire Commercial Management organization, only you are qualified. So, don’t be modest, Li Xiang.”

At that moment, Li Xiang was flying high.

Ye Wenhan could read Li Xiang’s thoughts, he said, “The position of Chief Financial Officer, I do intend to give it to you, but I want to see if you are really loyal to me.”

“I am definitely loyal to Mr. Ye.” Li Xiang quickly said.

“That’s good. Now I need you to find a way to allocate 200 million for me, and this 200 million cannot be disclosed to the public.”

Li Xiang looked at Ye Wenhan in disbelief.

Ye Wenhan said, “You’ve seen the troubles I’ve encountered with the old city renovation project. But I’ve already set a budget for the finance department before, and if I make an addition now, it’s like slapping my own face. Let’s first take this money out for the project, and when the project makes a profit, convert the profit into 200 million yuan cost revenue for the Commercial Management public treasury. It’s a simple operation, it just depends if you dare, Li Xiang!”

Li Xiang just looked at Ye Wenhan.

Although it could be done, it was not as simple as Ye Wenhan said.

It’s alright if it’s not investigated, but if it really gets investigated, this was definitely evidence of misuse of public funds.

In Beixia Country, misuse of public funds, especially state treasury funds, could really mean the death penalty.

“I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?” Ye Wenhan seemed to see Li Xiang’s thoughts and asked indifferently.

Li Xiang gritted his teeth, “Alright. I will do this for Mr. Ye.”

Ye Wenhan smirked coldly.

With the power he held now, what couldn’t he do?!

This feeling was really exhilarating!
